What these twitter kids don't understand is that figure companies order shit from China's factory, which make things in molds. And the mold cost most of the product
E.g. Say figurine A cost $200000 in mold + ($20 in plastic and $10 in shipping)/figurine. [all made up numbers, ignoring shit like design cost for simplicity sake]
if you know you are able to sell 1000 of them. You can price each figurine at $234 and earns a $4 profit per figurines. If you know you are going to only able to sell 100, each figurine will need to be sold at $2300 for you to break even. And noone is dumb enough to buy a $2300 kaela figurine, good luck finding 100 of them.
The factories in China don't care how many you can actually make and sell, they just know their mold cost time and money to make. If you can't pay the money then fuck off they don't lack customers.
figurine companies should know the exact amount of figures getting shipped to ID from JP and deemed it's not worth it. I'm talking about the anime/horse girl/touhou figures and not just Holo.
However, Holo should have managers on the ground in ID looking for small shops/artisans in ID and commissioning them to produce a small amount by handcraft rather than factory made in china. But that also comes with a host of problems like quality control, warehouse, distrubution, tummy hurts, etc.
If Holo can't do it, maybe the girls need to do it. While that is asking too much of them & not their jobs at all, if they really really want to get the ball rolling they need to go do it themselves.
